The Weather Guy

One of many recent grads we'll sorely miss is Lou Spelios 95, who during his four years at Dartmouth predicted the weather more accurately than any professional meteorologist in the region. His reports went out to hundreds of grateful Dartmouth people over email. "Weather was my first love,' Spelios confided in one of his last weather blitzes.' It s like the English language, really. There's an exception to every rule, and a rule to every exception." He kept instruments in his dorm room and got information from the National Weather Service.

And so what is he doing next? Law school, to face different storms, we suppose.

Before he left, Lou the Weather Guy bequeathed some weather extremes for his time at Dartmouth:

Hottest temperature reached: 94 degrees. Coldest: Minus 28. Four-year temperature range: 122 degrees. Heaviest single snowfall: 20.5 inches (January 17, 1994).

Lou's forecasts were pretty darn fair.
